Hakka Palace

A small dining area with big flavours. This place deserves better than it's aggregate google rating. Friendly and attentive service. Their crispy beef is very good. The hot and sour soup has just the right spice level and consistency. The fish pakora was flaky on the inside and properly fried. The Bombay chicken was tender and flavourful. Will be back.

Hakka Palace have been around since the 1990’s. Most of the time, I do take outs. I usually call it in and pickup about 20 minutes later. Don’t forget to ask for your pickup number at the time of order. Debit or Cash payment only. This is the first time I dined in with my friends. This place is small and cozy. The lady that served us was very attentive and fast. She got it down to a science. She gave us water to drink and our cutleries while we waited for our food. The food came out quickly one by one for our party of four. We were done in less than an hour tops. I remembered our Server came over mid way through our meal with a pitcher of water just in case we needed it. She even gave us our take out containers before we asked for it which was nice as we were tight on timing. You know that crazy Lunch rush. There was a steady stream of customers including a Police Cop picking up his own food. I ordered the Chilli Chicken (dry and mild) with white rice. Perfectly done to my liking. All my friends were happy with their orders too and packed all of their left overs home to eat later.

I've been coming here under previous managements for several years. The food is inconsistent but generally really good. It got one star cause I asked for a dry Manchurian. These cuisines are always "swimming" in sauce which no good for anyone. This meal was cover in a wet spice rub served raw over cooked chicken on white rice. So salty and probably packed with msg but such a super disaster. Not my order but 100% the cook. They would have replaced it but the inconvenience and also wanted me to pay for their mistake. Please be observant and take note of what you order and be mindful of this location is inconsistent.

Newer to East York, Hakka Palace came highly recommended. Its succulent generous fare has quickly become a go-to, not to mention its fast turn-around for the professional. To accomplish this is a friendly serving staff including Kunbi. Whether you dine in or take-out you ll be impressed every time! I look forward to trying the whole menu. (Ps, they’ll dial up or down the spice depending on your mood :) )

So I'm back for a redemption and all seems very good. Dry, mild, n less chili is exactly what I got. Very pleased with my dish.
